The Retirement Thread

[Blue Hills]

We all tend to arrive here in a roundabout way, most simply because they are old codgers and are lost. Then they can't find their way back out

I prefer to see it as a depository of the collected wisdom of ages. Hence my occasional landings here.

(Possible the word I am looking for is suppository)

Wisdom? Here on this thread?

Wow. Predictions are that 10 inches of snow will fall over most of the UK in the middle of January.

I had better break out my high density bloomers specially constructed to be impervious to all weather conditions

Morning all

Yay....tis Fish Friday!
Doggie walking first, then a stroll down to the George for F&C.
Hmmm.......10" of snow in January? Time to put the A/T tyres on.

can't you just use general kitchen sodium bicarb, just as you can use "normal" olive oil?

Probably you could at the appropriate dilution. Easier just to get a bottle from the pharmacy. It was originally prescribed for me by a GP but we get such things here on a pharmacists prescription. They have a list of what they are allowed to prescribed but you have to be registered.

Oh Lord! Please no more earwax It's very upsetting for some of us.

Pardon.........speak up!

A drizzly and puddly walk done. As annoying as the wet is, at least it's safe underfoot so hope the prediction of snow later is wrong.

I am having an experiment out of curiosity and stopping cow's milk for a while. Black coffee, herbal tea and have soya milk for my cereal and porridge. If nothing else, I might lose a few ounces

arrived here by a very roundabout route on a "search" (about ear wax which this sub forum seems to be an expert on) - diverted by this I did of course try to find it on streetview - all very odd - the majority of that lane and a fair few around it don't seem to be on streetview, which normally gets pretty much everywhere. Am wondering what else is on that lane.

Presumably you got to the point where the road narrows, house on left and green fields ahead on both sides? After about 0.25 miles the tarmac runs out and there is no vehicular exit other than turning round. From this point it leads to Brinscall Hall some of which is occupied but I'm unsure how much. Friend of mine lives in the bungalow. I don't use Streetview often and didn't realise this was unusual. It's the same in my village and quite a few other lanes in the very immediate area - I only know about these as one tends to look in one's own area and then move on. We like to keep it quiet round here!

There's the odd one in the Ribble Valley I know of from the very few ocassions I've wondered about taking friends on a biking "adventure" - has been know to go badly wrong!

Good morning from a soggy Barnet.
A domestics type of day,, the washing machine is doing it's stuff. just going out with the dog for a squelch across the fields.

This is Lancashire you know........

Don't expect one of those codes then.

Good morning, world!

It's 13 degrees on Planet Thanet, and when I looked out just now there is a spectacular sky.

No plans for today, but I hope to stay alert enough to go to the midnight firework display down by the harbour.

Keep warm and keep well, everybody.

Supermarket shop done, I was in Tesco's Bedworth by twenty to nine, and it was nice and quiet, just how I like it. Of to Coventry market in a bit for my meat, fruit and veg.

You are aware that earwax is simply your ears sweating.

Yes, and it's a blooming deep drop into the main sewer, too.

do you warm it before putting it in?
Any hazards?

(must say by the by I find it shocking that the NHS seems to have retreated from this most basic of things. Last time I checked ears were part of the human body - maybe they have been privatised and global rights to them sold off to a megacorp)
